Title: Periphyton filtration pre- and post-treatment system and method
Inventor: JENSEN KYLE R
IPC: C02F3/32
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: Periphyton filtration is a known method for performing bioremediation of polluted water. The present system (10) improves upon this method by adding a strong oxidizer, such as ozone from an ozone generator (18) to the influent, and in some cases to the effluent to make organically bound nutrients available to a target culture in a periphyton bed (24) or to aquatic plants to reduce the population of undesirable microinvertebrates and to make organically bound nutrients available to the periphyton.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement d'une matière carbonée dans un réacteur. La matière carbonée, comme la sciure, les résidus végétaux issus de processus forestiers ou agricoles, des déchets solides municipaux et déchets dérivés du combustible, est cédée à la section montante (10) d'un réacteur (10 - 15) dans laquelle elle entre en contact avec une matière particulaire anorganique et des parois de réacteur à une température élevée sensiblement en l'absence d'oxygène de telle manière que la matière carbonée soit au moins principalement convertie en produits traités par voie gazeuse, ce qui permet d'obtenir une phase gazeuse contenant le gaz de fluidisation et les produits traités. Selon l'invention, une suspension dense se forme dans la section montante (10) du réacteur, laquelle suspension contient en fonction du nombre de particules de 7 x 10?8¿ à 3 x 10?11¿ particules/m?3¿ (environ 2 x 10?7¿ - 1 x 10?10¿ particules/ft?3¿), et le rapport massique entre la matière particulaire apportant de la chaleur dans le réacteur et la matière carbonée est de l'ordre de 1:1 à 10:1. L'invention permet d'améliorer le mélange du moyen transfert de chaleur et l'alimentation et permet d'utiliser une alimentation plus grossière et moins uniforme que celle du procédé classique.

Title: Soil surface tillage point in combination of primary tillage shank system
Inventor: KOVACH MICHAEL G
IPC: A01C5/02
Filed: 2003-11-17
Abstract: An agricultural primary tillage implement is disclosed with a soil surface tillage point assembly attached in front of the shank. The tillage point is adjustable fore-and-aft for optimum clearance between the shank and a leading soil preparation apparatus to maximize clearance for residue movement. The tillage point in also adjustable for depth. The soil surface tillage point assembly reduces the amount of residue in line with the shank path (row) and creates smaller clod sizes of soil in line with the shank swath, resulting in a better seedbed and faster warm up in the spring, enabling the planter to run in cleaner soil, preventing planter plugging and uneven seed planting depth as well as resulting in better seed-to soil-contact.

Abstract: It has been found that dendritic cells can be prepared which cannot mature.  These cells can provide signal (1) to T cells but cannot provide co-stimulatory signal (2). T cells which are stimulated by the permanently immature dendritic cells therefore anergise, so the dendritic cells are tolerogenic rather than immunogenic. The cells are generally CD40-ve, CD80-ve and CD86-ve, and remain so when stimulated by inflammatory mediators such as lipopolysaccharide. The cells can be prepared conveniently by the culturing adherent embryonic stem cells in the presence of GM-CSF.
